Each morning when I open my eyes I say to myself; I, not events, have the power to make me happy or unhappy today. I can choose which it shall be. Yesterday is dead, tomorrow hasn’t arrived yet. I have just one day, today, and I’m going to be happy in it. ~Groucho Marx

Home again

This just caught my eye walking by

✼ ✼ ✼ ✼

Another chilly morning. 49 degrees but it was sunny. I can't remember a summer that I had to wear a sweat shirt walking in the morning. It was sure nice walking weather but sure doesn't fee like summer. I could take these kind of mornings year round.I woke up late this morning and didn't get out for my walk until 7:15. I had a random walk all over the place.

Saw a few school buses around town this morning. Don't know why, school doesn't start for another month. Maybe summer school.

Didn't see any other people walking around.
Lots of rabbits around which is usual and birds too.

I liked how the old tree branch looked among the Queen Anne's Lace.

I walked 6.2 miles.

I was starving by the time I got back home so made pancakes for breakfast. Didn't have any strawberries but my pancake was good anyway.

Ken made yet another trip up to HT to get another load of rock and dirt.

I've been home again today just puttering about inside and out. I've done laundry, dusted, and moved some things around inside. Outside, I've walked around the yard, weeded, helped Ken a bit and then sat and watched him.
It's been sunny and in the low 70's. A lovely day.

This is a petunia in my yard. I grew it from a seed and I think is so pretty. Looks more like a rose or carnation. I think it is called a 'double petunia.' I planted a whole package of seeds and only a few came up.

I have to say, it sounds wonderful to have such cool mornings. I am praying that we have a nice, long, beautiful Fall.

The kids here are starting school on Aug. 14th!!! Of course, we haven't had kids in school for years, but one of the neighbors told me when they were starting.It is so early for here, but apparently, they wanted to take off a good long stretch of time for Christmas vacation.... so there you go.

Good thing Ken has all the supplies he needs. That will be a big savings :)

I love that petunia! My dad always planted petunias in our yard when I was little, so they are a favorite. Of course it is simply too hot for them here. Love reading about your nice cool morning especially since will we be up to about 111 here today. Maybe the school bus drivers are out practicing up for the start of school. That is what they do around here, but our school starts next week. So long summer ~ now if the heat would just go too ;-) Have a great day, my friend!

The sumac looks like a banner over those posies...very pretty pic. Well, all your pics are very artfully done...I like the branch in the flowers, too. Speaking of posies, the ruffled petunia is a beauty. Too bad the rest of the seeds didn't come up. How fun to think of GW puttering around Mt Vernon and loving it.

49 degrees sounds nice! We enjoyed the coolness in Alaska so much and now back home we have been in the 90's. They tell us we're to have a cool front Friday and it'll be dramatically cooler. haha I think they mean down in the 80's. Real "cool" huh! But for Texas that's not bad at all for August and almost not heard of. We'll take it!

Another lovely walk. The weather does not feel like July at all, it was chilly here this morning.. Good weather for walking though! I love your pretty double petunia! Lovely photos, have a great evening!

Very pretty pictures today - I really like that path down the cemetery lane.

Yes, it is a cool summer, and I'm enjoying it. Our temperature was 55 Tuesday morning at 6 a.m. Some areas were expected to be into the mid-40s. I didn't hear if any place got that low. I'm sure we will be back to sticky hot and humid soon enough.

I thought of you this afternoon while I was baking 7 dozen sugar cookies for a retirement party tomorrow! :-D

Lead me to some soul today,O teach me, Lord,just what to say;Friends of mine are lost in sin,And cannot find their way.Few there are who seem to care,And few there are who pray;Melt my heart, and fill my life,Give me one soul today.
